Pit Info from The Heartsinger NewEarth 3
Pit is a bit odd, even for a dragon. Does he really warn Tad away from establishing a mating bond if it is not what he wants? It sounds like he’s has a complicated relationship of his own that he is trying to forget. The conflict between him and Thane seems to be born of…
Read MoreTad and Hess
What kinds of challenges do you think Tad and Hess face moving from the colonies, where they were dealing with corrupt humans on NewEarth and corrupt smugglers from off planet in trade, to dealing with Heron, Grabon and the new territory? Mixing humans and dragon culture sounds complex… or at least it does to some…
Read MoreVisit the Forest
Yesterday we spent a good part of the day in the trees, walking and admiring the signs of spring. We saw turtles mating, sunning themselves on logs and a beaver dam. There was an unidentified mammal swimming, a beaver or otter, moving fast and diving. There were fish, lots of them and bugs, but not…
Read MoreTaxes
Like every other American, I take a day out of my life, collect my paperwork, go over it twice and go and see the tax man, hoping and praying that I can afford to pay the taxes my government thinks I owe. The last thing anyone wants is to challenge the IRS. After all they…
Read MoreSeedlings
One of my favorite parts of spring is watching the seeds that I plant start to poke their noses out of the dirt. This morning, I have little green noses greeting the sun. My garden this year will be filled with peppers and cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Heron and Grabon both have strong well…

Heron has a wide open mind, meaning of course that his brain will psychically connect with anything that is capable of psychically connecting. He uses all types of mind connections to communicate, much like the dragons do; emotional, mind speak, energy and then his connections that he makes to the forest, the trees and other…
Read MoreOutside
I am anxious to spend part of the day outside, getting parts of the yard ready for plowing, another part prepped for flowers. The only challenge is dressing warm enough not to freeze, but not so warm that I melt beneath the clothing. It is a fleece kind of day to be sure. Planning the…
Read MoreSpring
Buds are swelling, grass is turning green, leaves are poking out of the newly thawed ground. Some days are cold while others merely chilly and the days are noticeably longer. The season has definitely changed. In celebration we have two new little calves wandering beside their mothers here on the farm. The arrival of spring…
Read MoreChoices
From the dragon’s point of view, if you do not like the rules in one territory move on to another. This is one of the reasons young dragons move from territory to territory looking for a place they can fit in. However once committing to a territory they are bound to follow those rules, so…
